Sponsor and Giveaway :: The Cíche Mom

Today I introduce you to The Cíche Mom, Simply Natural Mom’s newest sponsor.

Katie Willocks is a local Knoxville mom who started the small business The Cíche Mom. Cíche in Irish means breastfeeding. And that’s her focus – to make breastfeeding friendly products that help facilitate and encourage moms to create a special bond with their children.

In addition to nursing covers and teething necklaces for moms to wear and babies to teeth on, she has recently began making other green living products such as snack bags, reusable wipes and more.

Her handmade goods are available at her Etsy store and locally at Fluff n’Stuff.

Simply Natural Mom: What most inspires your sewing, and what you decide to create?

The Cíche Mom: I am constantly inspired by my daughter. She was having a rough time teething one day so I made her a smaller version of my nursing necklace.  Hence the teething bracelet.  It’s one of my most popular items to date. Beyond that my desire to leave this world better than I came to it is extremely important to me. I love to share my products to help other people get to that same goal.

Simply Natural Mom: Moms love using natural, cloth items with their children. Tell us why moms love wearing teething necklaces for their babies.

The Cíche Mom:  How many times have you been pinched, tweaked, kicked or punched (even lovingly) by your little one while nursing?  Occupied hands during nursing makes for a much more pleasant experience, and less scratches on mama at the end of the day.  Of course there is the obvious reason,  baby will mouth while she is teething. It’s nice to know that what she’s putting in her mouth is natural AND soothing.

Simply Natural Mom: What advice do you have for moms who are looking for simple ways incorporate more green products into their routines?

The Cíche Mom:  Start small!  Maybe it’s just a rain barrel, maybe you just start recycling.  Every little thing you do makes a difference.   One by one things start to add up, and before you know it you’ll be unable to imagine living like you were before.
